Very nice list of mods mate! tops.
I reakon take the series 2 badge off the garnish and dont change the rear end the vt garnish if its in good nick is perfect. Maybe have a looks at a Berlina garnish like on my VT with the lights in it. looks the goods
nick
no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone
yeh same colour, same power not even cool lol. nice car mate
thanks guys, im pretty happy with it, plenty of torque and not loud enough to get too much attention from the boys in blue
almost identical to yours john, although ive got the black front going on whereas youve got the white/chrome.
nice ride love the headlights, i wanted to get somethin like that for my caprice... have you thought of gettin an OTRCAI? heaps better than the standard airbox and responds well with the maffless tune
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
yeah, i'll probably look at getting the otrcai at some stage, dont have the $$ at the moment though.
bit of an update, got a hold of a VX calais garnish + tailights for $270 delivered, and looking into getting some 4" ballistic cats and a DUS OTR really soon.
to top it off hopefully getting the 19" hp design rims in shadow chrome.
nice car but can i ask why the c4b cam and springs
i didnt do the work myself, but the results are there, putting out the same sort of power as most people with otr + high flow cats as well as cam work.
Nice car mate, VT SS in tiger mica always look good
That pic in your avatar yours? looks like you different rims on thats all.

I didnt put the chevvy badges on, but they've grown on me, will probably just leave them, wouldn't mind something custom, don't want to put the standard holden badge back on.
the car in my avatar isn't mine, but I've got those exact rims now, the car in my avatar is a VX SS.
ill post up some new pics tomorrow, as well as clip of the exhaust now that i've removed the rear resi.
nice ride mate!
yeah looks mean....i agree re the chevy badges every man and his dog are getting them....they are the new fluffy dice fad lol
best power for money is a good cam
u get wicked hp gains outa a good cam from stock
be looking at somthing like 400rwhp with a desent cam
